SAN DIEGO /PRNewswire/ 09, 01, 2009 — A recent analysis of patient procedures at The Center For Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery in San Diego showed a remarkable 30% jump in dermal fillers this year. This further validates statistics issued in March by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) that minimally invasive procedures continue to weather the economic storm.
The economic environment was a key driver of the jump but Medical Director, Dr. Sassan Alavi, and his team also concluded that patients continue to seek out products that will have the longest lasting effect. As a result, Artefill has been the #1 dermal filler of choice for these patients. Artefill is the first and only FDA-approved microsphere-enhanced collagen filler for the correction of smile lines that has proven to have the longest lasting effect of any filler currently available on the market today.
